title: Formation and characterization of a six-coordinate iron(III) complex with the most ruffled porphyrin ring.
abstract: The six-coordinate iron(III) porphyrin complex, [Fe(T(i)PrP)(2-MeBzIm)(2)](+), having the most ruffled porphyrin ring shows some unusual properties; the complex adopts the pure (d(xz), d(yz))(4)(d(xy))(1) ground state below 200 K in spite of the coordination of an imidazole ligand and exhibits the rare spin transition to the (d(xz), d(yz))(3)(d(xy))(1)(d(z2))(1) state at higher temperature.
